Job Opportunity for Occupational Therapists (OT) in Suffolk
Are you an OT working in a generic mental health role? Would you be interested in an opportunity to work in an OT specific role alongside a band 5 OT? Perhaps you are an OT looking for a new challenge? Suffolk Rehabilitation and Recovery Service is a small inpatient service that provides rehabilitation for people with complex psychosis. There is opportunity to train in the VdT Model of Creative Ability because here at SRRS we recognise the value of this model and how it informs our work.
As a 10 bedded unit you would have a small caseload. There is opportunity to work 1-1 and to run groups. If you like roles where you get to work alongside people in their recovery, this post offers the opportunity to work with people for around 6 months.
The Suffolk community rehabilitation team is based in the same building and also uses the VdT MoCA to inform intervention so there is opportunity to work closely with other OTs onsite.
What We Are Looking For
We are looking for someone passionate about OT. Someone who has a vision for what OT can offer in a mental health rehabilitation setting.
